Synopsis

Continuous arterial spin labeling using a separate neck labeling coil is an attractive approach for imaging perfusion at 7T. This approach is hindered by specialize hardware including a labeling coil and a separate amplifier located outside the magnet room. On-coil amplifiers have demonstrated higher RF power efficiency with minimal cable loss and patient-coil interaction. This work shows that a separate labeling coil using on-coil amplification can be used for flow driven adiabatic inversion in a flow phantom suggesting that it may provide a suitable approach to simplify the hardware package required as well as to improve CASL studies at 7T.
